BSA welcomes a new member

The BSA is pleased to announce that it has a new member, ScotWest Credit Union

ScotWest-Credit-Union-logo-2019.pngThe BSA is pleased to announce that it has a new member. ScotWest Credit Union is one of the largest credit unions in the UK and provides financial services to anyone that lives or works within the West of Scotland area.

ScotWest joins Glasgow, London Mutual, Capital and No1 Copperpot credit unions as BSA members - alongside all 43 UK building societies.

As mutual financial service providers, credit unions have a lot in common with building societies, particularly with regards to customer ownership and social purpose - with a clear focus on membership needs and wants.

The BSA is looking forward to working with ScotWest in the months and years to come.
